Episode Details

Welcome to Glenn Robison’s Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and ’30s.

On this evening’s show we’ll celebrate the birthdays of Phil Spitalny, Harry M. Woods, and Gus Kahn, and listen to some songs about money.

Enjoy the show!

Here’s the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Congratulations Steven & Angie
Steven (son of listener Rich from Illinois) and his fiancé Angie are getting married. As music majors the tables at the bridal shower will be decorated with old sheet music, which inspired Rich to ask about recordings of some of the more obscure songs they had come across. Unfortunately, I didn’t have recordings of any of the songs on Rich’s list, but I have put together some other songs in the same vein, so with best wishes to Steven and Angie, here’s some great songs:

She’s My Sweet Patootie – The Six Black Diamonds (Adrian Schubert) / Jack Kaufman, v.
Any Little Girl That’s A Nice Little Girl Is The Right Little Girl For Me – Billy Murray
How A Little Girl Like You Could Love Me – Wally Edwards AHO/ Wally Edwards, v.
Sweet Patootie – Triangle Harmony Boys

Segment 2: Phil Spitalny
November 7 marked the birth in 1890 in Odessa, Russia of bandleader Phil Spitalny.

I Want To Meander In The Meadow – Phil Spitalny’s Music

The hot topic these days is the global economic situation. I hope it hasn’t directly or severely affected you, but for the last segment of the show, we’ve got some rapidly rotating records having to do with money.
